It doesn’t matter what Scotland say about the SNP because they don’t listen, it’s their way or nothing. They don’t care about Scotland it is all about what they can take out of Scotland

[@dftfire]

So Swinney says they still have the right to call for another independence referendum, as they won a majority in the 2019 GE. Okay, so by that logic the Tories could say on Friday "we're going to remain in power, as we won in 2019" 😂 And... what happens if Scotland gets another vote, and it's "no" again? How long do we leave between that and a third vote? 🤷🏻‍♂️
